Not every woman wants to sit around and watch sports with their mate. Typically during the fall and winter, most men are content with spending their Sunday, Monday and Thursday evenings in front of the television watching football, and basketball games.

But nothing can be more annoying to a man, than when a woman is annoying them instead of actively enjoying the game with them. If you’re not into sports, here are a few tips on how not to annoy your mate during his favorite sports.

Leave the premise: Sometimes a man wants to enjoy the game solo and not have to worry about dividing his time between the television and providing their mate attention. As to not get your feelings hurt when you think he’s paying more attention to the first down, then you, try leaving him alone in the house so he can have time to himself. Run a few errands, go shopping or find a friend to hang out with.

Learn the sport: No one likes constantly explaining the same thing over and over, especially when it comes to the specifics of a sport. It seems to especially cause aggravation when you wait to ask questions in the middle of a game. Do yourself a favor, do research about the sport and it’s rules. When a game isn’t on television, ask your mate questions, and show interests in learning more about it.

Halftime Stimulation: If you really want his undivided attention, wait until halftime, then entice him with a little TLC. Chances are he’ll forget about whatever is on the television, and you’ll never hear the words, “Honey, you’re annoying me!”
